Notes
The uploaded text of the “Military Service Act 1917” (Chapter 19 Statutes of Canada) is based on information from a number of sources. I have found no complete authoritative copy of this Act and many reproductions have typographical and spelling errors – many of which were based on the use of American spelling and grammar when conversions from English (Canadian) format were undertaken. I have ordered the complete collection on the MSA 1917 from Library and Archives Canada and I will update this page if and when that material arrives via Inter Library Loan.
